| Once the design and construction
phases of a conventional house are finished, the project
is generally considered complete. One of the goals of
ecoMOD is to not only fabricate socially and ecologically
sustainable prefabricated houses, but to also evaluate
the result. Architects, engineers, and the prefabrication
housing industry seldom monitor or evaluate their efforts.
The ‘evaluating ecoMOD’ process is built on
emerging strategies and protocols for the analysis of
a completed building. Each evaluation process may include
analysis into environmental impact of the systems and
materials; energy performance; affordability; human comfort;
constructability; and thoughtful placement within a community. |
